I still believe in the Pack.
Are their chances hopeful? Probably not. If they were in a vicious division like the AFC West, NFC West, or NFC South, they would obviously stand no chance. However, the team leading the NFC North shoots themselves in the foot more than any other team in the NFL and travel to play Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Greenbay is at home in snow against a 2-9 Atlanta Falcons team.
With a Detroit loss and a Packers win, they are only 1 and 1/2 game back (they would lose a tiebreaker to Detroit, thus they need to finish with more wins). Then get Rodgers back, win out to finish 9-6-1, and basically hope that Detroit loses 2 of their last 4 and for Chicago to lose as well.
Considering how inconsistent Detroit is, I wouldn't rule it out.
